Radio melody maker! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tuner

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'radio' is the definition.
(I know that radio can be written as tuner)

'melody maker' is the wordplay.
'melody' becomes 'tune' (synonyms).
'maker' becomes 'r' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'tune'+'r'='TUNER'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tuner that I've seen before include "Radio receiver" , "Adjuster of pianos" , "Piano adjuster" , "piano man?" , "Radio adjuster" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
